Delegation is the assignment by a manager to subordinates authority to undertakeCertain tasks while retaining ultimate responsibility for their satisfactory
completion.
According to Stoner Freeman, (1995), delegation is the assignment by another
person of formal authority and accountability for carrying out specific activities.
Delegation is important in an organization especially when managers have
excessive workload; they can assign some work to their subordinates instead of

... is therefore very important and has a great impact on the organization performance.
5.4 Recommendation
In view of the above findings and conclusions, the researcher has proposed a few recommendations that if implemented would result in effective delegation in the organization.
Firstly, the management should train their employees in order for them to acquire new skills that would help build on their confidence and would also help to minimise mistakes.
The management should also ensure that they supply the required resources to the employees when they assign them work in order for them to work effectively.
